Re: And yet another street racing death & Injuries in San Diego (Santee) June 12
I used to break in new engineers. I was dismayed to find that the fairly recent grads were allowed to graduate thinking that they actually knew something. Usually, us old techs were able to burst that bubble in a week or two. Than they would start ASKING instead of TELLING, and we all got along better and achieved more. On the other hand, I learned almost everything I know from the engineers - some of 'em would take the time to explain the theory behind what we were doing, and I deeply appreciate their efforts.
So yeah - the more we know, the more ignorant we know we are.
